Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: {To men belongs a share of what the parents and close relatives leave behind…}

Question:
He asks about the exegesis of the saying of the Truthful One (Blessed and Exalted is He): I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan [Surat al-Nisa: 7]?

Answer:
On the apparent meaning of the noble verse, the Truthful One [Surat al-Nisa: 7] summarized it here, and detailed it in the other verses, detailing it in the following verses that come after it: [Surat al-Nisa: 11]… to the end of the verses.
Among men: the husband inherits from his wife, the father inherits from his children, the mother inherits from her children, and so on with the brothers, and so on with the sons who inherit from their fathers and mothers. Thus, men and women inherit from one another, each receiving his or her right as detailed in the verses of inheritance in Surat al-Nisa, at its beginning and its end, and in the authentic hadiths. The man and the woman, each receives his or her prescribed share, as the Exalted has clarified that the man receives half of his wife's estate if she has no children, and a quarter if she has children, even if it is only one. The wife receives a quarter of her husband's estate if he has no children, and if he has children, even if they are from another woman, she receives an eighth. The father receives a sixth if his child has children. The mother likewise receives a sixth, and if he has no children, she receives a third, unless he has brothers, in which case she receives a sixth. The father, if his child has no children, takes the entire estate if it is his to take as a residuary heir, or as a fixed share, not as a residuary heir. And so with the rest of the heirs, they are all included in the noble verse: [al-Nisa:7] : a category that includes the fathers, the children, and the brothers, and so on with the women: it includes the mothers, the wives, the daughters, and the sisters. Allah has detailed all of their inheritances . Yes.
